There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.

before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

New Survey coming this weekend!Somebody please source this rumor?
There appear to be scientists who think they might have a tech for it (Ben Bova speculated about one such possibility), but that's not what the Reps are talking about.

New Survey coming this weekend!

Call me a real life case of The Spock but it's stunning how much Trump repeats himself and how little he has to say in terms of actual policy compared to Clinton. It's really irritating to me as a self-described independent how little he's got to say about the actual issues beyond generic emotional fearmongering.
